ETJ Kyoto:

Description:
Knowing how to craft a lesson to ignite curiosity, inspire motivation, instill self-confidence, and make an impact is an important teaching skill. Attendees will learn essential planning rules, see an actual lesson and then delve deeper into the method and components used in creating a themed lesson. This is a lesson planning intensive that will cover helpful routines, songs & chants, how to use picture books, create mystery, and more to increase the motivation, discipline, learning and fun in your classes! Following the meeting there will be a lunch at a nearby restaurant for those who wish to attend.
